Vinnie's SUNFLOWERS...again!

"They are such a happy flower” my friend, Diane, said.

I did a search on why they're called sunflowers.  They are a heliotrope (Helios is the Greek sun god) simply meaning that they track the sun.
Once the bud matures to a flower, it becomes fixed and faces east toward the sunrise.   Isn’t that amazing?!

Here is a link to an interesting video about the sunflower:
